Default Vibration at start up?

Is there anyone who has experienced this? It feels like a loose mount or a balance issue in the drive train. I have not taken it to the dealer yet, I would rather repair it myself, or at least have an idea if I do take it to the dealer. This might have done this before slightly, but it seems to be getting worse. 8K miles all stock other than air box removed and a cone filter in place. Thanks in advance.

Is it sitting still, moving or both? I would check your engine and tranny mounts first.

Mainly at start up, but I guess there might be some play when driving also. That was my first guess with the tranny and engine mounts, are these pron to getting sloppy after only 8K road miles?

sound like your motor mounts. check the welds on the back of the mounts along the frame. i know a few people that have had there drivers side mount crack on them and cause a bad vibration.
